The H45 series in Intel's 12th Generation Core Mobile Edition is fully available, and soon the P28, U15 and U9 series will also meet with us, when whether it is a game book, an all-rounder book, a thin and light book, or a two-in-one will get a leap in CPU performance.
Unfortunately, the strongest i9-12900HK in the 12th generation Core H45 also has only 6 large 8 small 14 core 20 threads, which is not a small gap with the desktop platform processor. The only good news is that the H45 integrated nuclear display has been greatly upgraded, the i7 and i5 integrate the Rui Torch Xe 96 and rui torch Xe 80 respectively (except for the i7-12650H and i5-12450H), and the all-rounder of the nuclear display platform like the Mechanical Revolution Boundless 16 can also use them to get good gaming power.
In fact, the 12th Generation Core Mobile also has a hidden H55 series, which is in line with the desktop platform and has the top computing power.
In simple terms, the 12th generation Core H55 adopts a special S-BGA package (H45, P28 and U15/U9 are all BGA packages), the default power consumption is increased to 55W, with a maximum of 8 large, 8 small, 16 cores and 24 threads, and a core display with 32 execution units (UHD770), which is equivalent to a desktop processor integrated package for mobile terminals, and the model suffix is "HX".
At present, the GeekBench 5 database has successively exposed five members of the 12th generation Core H55, which are i9-12950HX, i9-12900HX, i7-12850HX, i7-12650HX, and i5-12600HX.
Among them, the i9-12950HX, i9-12900HX and i7-12850HX have a complete 8 large 8 small 16 core 24 threads, built-in 6MB L2 cache and 30MB L3 cache, the i9-12950HX base and acceleration frequency are 2.5GHz and 4.9GHz, and the i7-12850HX acceleration frequency is 4.7GHz.
i7-12650HX has 6 big 8 small 14 core 20 threads, the specifications are the same as the i7-12700H we are familiar with, the sharply reduced core display, which means that it must be paired with the unique display, not suitable for the all-rounder of the display platform, unless the procurement cost is lower, otherwise there is no competitiveness.
The i5-12600HX has 4 large 8 small 12 cores and 16 threads, which is the same as the standard i5-12600H/i5-12500H, and whether it can be favored also depends on its actual price.
Judging from the running score data of GeekBench 5, the performance of the 12th generation Core H55 is obviously abnormal, the single-core performance is not as good as the i9-12900H in the H45 family, the multi-core performance can not beat its own little brother, and the extra 2 large cores (4 hyper-threads) also show a blindfold.
Multi-core performance
Single-core performance
This phenomenon is also well understood, the 12th generation Core H45 wants to full blood output needs 115W of power consumption, H55 test platform power release estimates are very conservative, if also adjusted to 115W full blood level, multi-core performance can certainly be far beyond the i9-12900H.
Again, for notebooks, even if equipped with the same processor, subject to the design of the cooling module and the setting of the power wall and the temperature wall threshold, there may be a huge gap in the performance level, and it is common for i7 to beat i5.
Therefore, if you are pursuing higher performance, you must pay attention to the power consumption of the notebook.
